Thermopsis lanceolata


Thermopsis lanceolata (Thermopsis lanceolata)

A bit like a lupin, I think.

Nice in yellow though!
We have slow (very slow actually) progress on the Tricyrtis.

Thanks - my Tojen has been munched by snails - grrrrrr..

The Taiwan Adbane wouldn't provide a snack yet, but it's making progress.......

It is very much like a lupin but much nicer......

Yes, I agree. It was one of my 'finds' at the plant fair last year. :-))

Yes, I thought it was a yellow tree lupin. It's lovely! Exactly the shade of yellow I love!

Well - it must be hardy - it came through the winter totally unscathed. I like it too. :-)

That's good news. I have lost two scented honeysuckles. I only realised today. Its very sad. Mint Crisp and Halliana. The Japonica Aureoreticulata, which I thought wouldn't be so tough, has survived and thrived!

Not fair,is it. I've decided to think positive - and use every casualty space for something new and different.

14 Apr, 2011

 

yes, exactly. As i said to OH this evening. I shall use this opportunity to plant another Cotoneaster Exburiensis or another Cistus Battandieri, both of which have done brilliantly in spite of being almost defoliated.

Did I tell you that my Cistus x skanbergii is three-quarters dead? I AM going to replace it - it looks awful. :-(

15 Apr, 2011

 

Three quarters dead = one quarter alive!!

I thought you'd be interested to hear that we have decided to replace that honeysuckle with Elaeagnus Angustifolia. I could only find it on Burncoose, so I ordered the cream Akebia as well as two of the Elaeagnus (another to replace the yellow Elaeagnus I lost) to make the delivery cost worth while! See, I knew I'd have to get it eventually! lol

Oh, well done K! You'll love it. :-)))

Meanie - the Cistus looks dreadful! If I cut it back to the green bits, it'll look even worse. I think it's on its way to the compost bin. :-(((

Shame as it is so pretty. Could you cut it back to live growth and dig it out and nurse it for this year? Or get cuttings off the new growth that you have?

16 Apr, 2011

 

Too late - it's out - all of it. There were only two tiny branches with green leaves on them. I've go a Cistus 'Sunset' to plant. :-)

16 Apr, 2011

 

Oh well that's great! Just like me....can't have an untidy plant spoiling the show!

17 Apr, 2011

 

It was right in front of my garden chair so I couldn't bear it any longer. Not a pretty sight. I've planted 'Sunset' now.
